McDermott a finalist for COTY

But please, let’s fire him.

I'm good with keeping McDermott, if he can acknowledge the deficiencies in Defensive scheme and Offensive scheme. I'd prefer to let Frazier and Dorsey go and get more innovative on both sides of the ball and he does need to do better with managing in-game situations. That said, he's done a lot for the team over the last six years and I can see that value. Plus, how he's handled the adversity of the snow game, Hamlin, etc. showed solid leadership. It's just the football side of things I have my concerns regarding those aforementioned decisions.

That's one hell of a list but yah the sentiment around the Bills fan base is some what confusing to me i guess they would rather be what the team was before he got here which makes no sense to me at all seeing what he has accomplished in what is a relatively short HC ing career .

 

IMHO i hope he's here for quite a while ...

Shanahan, hands down. It should be unanimous. 

[Gregg]

Daboll or Pederson. The Eagles, 49ers and Bills have strong rosters. Daboll got the most out of a roster that had very little talent at least on offense. Pederson has changed the culture and turned the Jags into a winning team in year 1. That was not an easy thing to do as that was an ugly situation last year with Meyer.

[SoCal Deek]

I’m not voting for McD until he walks up to the microphone to announce that Frazier has been fired.

Dick Jauron was coach of the year in 2001 with a 13-3 record. 

 

Marty Schottenheimer in 2004.

 

Marvin Lewis in 2009.

 

Lovie Smith in 2005.

 

Those were winners, not finalists.

If I had to rank them, it would be Pederson, Shanahan, McD, Daboll, Siriani.

Shanahan deserves the award.

Siriani. What he did with Jalen Hurts is incredible. Before the year it was questioned if they should move on from him, now prior call him a superstar. The growth of Hurts has been incredible.

That team is stupid stacked with talent though.

The 49ers aren't?

“These coaches were bad after a while therefore McD is bad” is a fallacy.

Sure, which is why I think Pederson deserves it the most for turning around the Jags like that. 

[Inigo Montoya]

If you only look at on the field performance, Daboll should win going away.

 

If you want to throw in off the field drama, McDermott could be a dark horse.

not in the same way. anyone who knew football knew what was going to happen in phili. then they got aj brown.  eagles are going to havea couple good years ahead with great talent.

I think 2017 was his best coaching job and he didn't even get a vote back then

That's the problem with McDermott: his loyalty (which is a liability) will not allow him to acknowledge those deficiencies.

[BuffaloRebound]

Mcdermott is a great leader but just got embarrassingly out-coached by Zach Taylor.  I’d go Sirianni 1, Shanahan 2, Daboll 3.  Not sure Jacksonville even makes the playoffs if they weren’t in a trash division.

Shanahan! McDermott without the benefit of Allen is mediocre.

[ToGoGo]

He could've played 9 men on the field every play against the Bengals and he should still win COTY for how led this team to 13 wins with everything that was going on.

 

Hot Take:

Greatest regular season coaching job in NFL history this year and it is not even close.
